California Court of Appeal

In an action involving jurisdiction under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act in an international custody dispute, trial court judgment is affirmed where the California court that dissolved the marriage properly assumed initial UCCJEA jurisdiction over the child custody matter as the son's home state, it never lost jurisdiction over the matter, and its order granting custody to husband was valid when entered and thus remains valid.
